METHOD
TO MAKE THE SMOOTHIE
In a blender, combine all the ingredients in the order listed. Firmly press the apple pieces into the pitcher, as they will produce the liquid required to purée the remaining ingredients. Blend until completely smooth. Add some soy-free non-dairy milk if you want a thinner consistency. Pour into two separate bowls and place in the freezer while you prepare the topping.
TO MAKE THE PIE TOPPING
Pulse the almonds, dates, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor until they are small chunks. Serve with a shake over the top of each smoothie bowl.
